Ok, after doing some traffic sniffing the machine that is showing up as
alevrius! is some stupid person trying to make a connections to my samba
server. Although samba is denying the connection, they are _still_
showing up in the tcpdumps and ethereal.
There are 2 or 3 different IP's associated with this joker from the same
netblock.. So who knows...
I know... I need a firewall..Luckily FRY's is open today I think.. But
until my wife brought home a laptop from work and I turned on Samba for
her to use her linux home dir I never saw this crud before.. Im pretty
well locked down other than this new samba daemon..
ho well...
You guys have a great holiday season...
